Welcome!

I’m Todd

Your go-to guy for all things caffeine and travel

I’m a Dallas-based lifestyle blogger with a passion for coffee, culture, and travel. Whether I’m chasing down all 30 MLB stadiums, catching live music, or testing out the best coffee gear for home brews, I’m all about sharing what I love.

After hitting pause to earn multiple master’s degrees, I’m back to weekend blogging while juggling a full-time job—covering everything from sports and brewing tips to the best weekend destinations in the USA.

I inspire busy people to make the most of their weekends. From travel bucket lists to the perfect at-home coffee setup, I share my experiences that blend passion with practicality.

Behind the blog

How it all started

I bought a coffee machine a while back that felt like a major splurge at the time. Once I delved deeper into the craft, I decided not to keep this all to myself. A friend nudged me to start sharing what I was learning, and that’s how this all began. What originally started with home brews and DFW coffee shops quickly grew into something bigger. Now I share my passion for coffee, sports, and travel.

I use this blog to help you do more of what you love—whether that’s finding your next favorite café, planning smarter weekend getaways, or making the most of your downtime with gear and guides that deliver. If you’re into great coffee, ballgames, or hitting the road without overthinking it, you’re in the right place.
